Trial Marriage Husband : I Am CEO’s Plaything

"Special relationship? Gosh, I didn't have any relationship, let alone a special one with him anymore! I don't even have his phone number, how can I try to ask him about the High Creative Ads company?"

For a moment, Vira was stunned after listening to Lisa's answer. She could have asked the woman further why they ended their relationship, or when they separated. However, Vira had known Lisa long enough to know that she wouldn't give her a real answer.

"Okay, I will help you." Vira said finally.

"Thank you so much! I—"

Before Lisa could finish her sentence, Vira interrupted her first. "But! You must remember that I'm just an ordinary employee. So please don't expect too much from me since I don't even think I can get my hands on the information you want. Usually, people who have high positions in the office can't possibly tell ordinary employees like me about such matters."

Lisa was too hasty and didn't know what to do, so she could only think of sending a regular employee to do such a heavy task. But Vira was her only hope.

"Hey, don't look so gloomy! I still want to help you, but I don't dare promise to get the information that you want. Starting tomorrow, I will try to eavesdrop and dig up my friends at the office for any info."

Even though Vira realized that she was just an ordinary employee who might not get such important information, she would still help Lisa. At least she was still trying to help her.

Hearing that made Lisa feel as if she saw a ray of light in a dark alley. A wide smile graced her lips, and her eyes were filled with tears  for some reason. It could be that the woman was too happy and also tired that she could only cry.

Today is the most tiring day and arguably the worst day Lisa has ever experienced. And listening to Vira wanting to help her with all her shortcomings made Lisa finally smile with relief. As if the burden she had been carrying alone was finally getting lighter.

"Thank you, thank you very much! I- I promise when this project goes well I'll take you out for a nice meal!" Lisa said enthusiastically.

Anyone in their sane mind would be happy to be invited into a free meal, but not with Vira. The woman actually frowned and refused all of Lisa's tempting offers. Starting from shopping to eating at five-star restaurants.

"Well then, what do you want to try..." Lisa grumbled curiously.

"I just want you to bring William here so he could lift up my rank in this game! Oh, you know, the last time I got 'Chicken Diner', William was the one who played it! That's why if I can't win again, my rank will dive!"

Suddenly, Lisa burst out laughing at Vira's blunt answer. Until now, she did not know what made the woman crazy about the online game. Was the game so fun that Vira turned down all of her tempting offers?

"Alright, I promise." Lisa raised her pinky finger and hooked it with Vira's pinky, "If this project is successful, I will bring William here."

Around half past 12 at night, Vira got up from the sofa, complaining that her back was aching and her eyes were burning. Lisa just chuckled and let the woman into her room.

As long as Vira was in her room, Lisa was still sitting in the living room. Even though her laptop is still charging, it doesn't mean that she takes the opportunity to laze around. She is still looking for tricks and tips to win the heart of the partnering company's president.

It's just that Lisa doesn't want Maria to think she's incompetent to finish the project. She wouldn't let that woman trample on her pride!

Suddenly, when the clock showed 12 o'clock at night, Lisa's mind was filled with Andien's face. Her friend had been married for 2 months. And during that time, Lisa did not receive any news from her. Usually, the woman always has a reason to contact her. But for some reason, Andien had changed a lot after she got married.

She is no longer the woman that Lisa knows. The person she knew in the past was a cheerful woman who could never stop smiling. But now, Andien always looks gloomy. Even on her wedding day, she didn't smile at all.

As long as Lisa had known Andien, she knew that she would shut herself up and build a wall to protect herself when she felt sad or disapproved. And it looks like she's building a wall between their friendship.

Actually, Lisa didn't mind if her friend got married suddenly. It's just that she couldn't control her facial expressions so maybe Andien had misunderstood and thought she didn't approve of her marriage to the much older man.

Instead of dying of curiosity and trying to guess what Andien is now doing, she closed the page about the High Creative Ads company. Lisa had lived back and forth in Andien's apartment, so she knew that the woman must not have slept at this hour. At the earliest, Andien would go to bed at 1 am, even if she was tired or sick.

Without wasting any more time, Lisa immediately dialed Andien's phone number, which she had memorized pretty well. At first, it wasn't until two rings that their phone line just cut off.

"Weird..." Lisa muttered while looking at her phone screen.

Thinking that maybe Andien was in the bathroom so she couldn't pick up the phone, Lisa waited for another 2 minutes before trying to contact her friend again.

Two minutes later, Lisa tried to contact Andien but again their phone line was disconnected. This made Lisa even more curious and also panicked. Because as long as she knew Andien, she'd always picked up her calls. Whether it's 3 am or 11 pm, Andien always picked up the phone.

Lisa's struggle did not stop there. Every time she disconnected, she kept calling her again. It wasn't until a few minutes later that she finally heard the phone being connected.

"Andien, how dare you ignore the call! Gosh, where have you been? You're just making me panic—"

"This isn't Andien," the man with a deep and hoarse voice interrupted. "Would you like to talk to her?"
